    Plot twist: this was a group act all along. The murderer flees the scene. Once the image gets released, a second actor shows up at a McDonald’s, a public space. Gets reported to authorities by a third actor, who does actually work at McD’s. They waste the authorities’ time, and the second actor, having commited no crimes, proves his innocence. The actual murderer, in the meantime, disappears for real, benefiting of the time wasted by the authorities. Second actor represents something, and gets some cool pics getting “arrested”

    Idk, the idea just came to mind seeing the comment above

      if luigi hypothetically did participate in this plan, wouldn’t that itself be a crime (accessory to murder)? so they could still get him for something if they found out about the plan, but probably for less than if he did actually kill someone. i’m not a lawyer though so i don’t really know how this stuff works or if it would even be feasible to prosecute him for any of those things (if he did them)

        The feds, and state of New York, already said that the informant wasn’t going to get a dime of the posted reward.

        The only class solidarity that we have seen systemically is for the owners.

          I knew this was how it would go down. I’m guessing they’re saying since they didn’t go through crimestoppers they can’t get it?

          I love it. Snitch gets their pretend cash snatched. Makes it less likely for people to snitch. And that fucker is going to be mad about it every day for the rest of their life.

      the second actor, having commited no crimes, proves his innocence.

      Here’s the flaw in your plan: This doesn’t actually work in the US.

        Though the simple act of planting evidence on the suspect. No alibi beats a confession note and an untraceable gun
